Improving Way  fiavk
Last week's snow storm brought into pretty relief some of the Improvement work that has been done
in Way Park, Edgeworth, under the borough's supervision, hy men who were thus furnished employment
through funds supplied by the Advisory Council and other agencies. The bed of Quaker Run was
straightened and lined with concrete and stone, and this little bridge was built, making the park far more
attractive than before.
